Dispose of contents/container in accordance with local/regional/national/international regulations. None known. Not applicable. 3. Composition/information on ingredients Substances Chemical name Common name and synonyms CAS number % Calcium Chloride *Designates that a specific chemical identity and/or percentage of composition has been withheld as a trade secret. 4. First-aid measures Inhalation Move to fresh air. Call a physician if symptoms develop or persist. 1 / 7

2 Skin contact Eye contact Ingestion Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed General information 5. Fire-fighting measures Suitable extinguishing media Unsuitable extinguishing media Specific hazards arising from the chemical Special protective equipment and precautions for firefighters Fire fighting equipment/instructions Specific methods General fire hazards Wash off with soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists. Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. If eye irritation persists: Get medical advice/attention. Rinse mouth. IF SWALLOWED: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician if you feel unwell. Symptoms may include stinging, tearing, redness, swelling, and blurred vision. Provide general supportive measures and treat symptomatically. In case of shortness of breath, give oxygen. Keep victim warm. Keep victim under observation. Symptoms may be delayed. In the case of accident or if you feel unwell, seek medical advice immediately (show the label where possible). Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved, and take precautions to protect themselves. Water fog. Foam. Dry chemical powder. Carbon dioxide (CO2). Do not use water jet as an extinguisher, as this will spread the fire. Not applicable. Wear suitable protective equipment. Move containers from fire area if you can do so without risk. Use standard firefighting procedures and consider the hazards of other involved materials. No unusual fire or explosion hazards noted. 6. Accidental release measures Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up Keep unnecessary personnel away. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Keep out of low areas. Wear appropriate protective equipment and clothing during clean-up. Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. Ensure adequate ventilation. Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages cannot be contained. For personal protection, see section 8 of the SDS. Large Spills: Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk. Dike the spilled material, where this is possible. Cover with plastic sheet to prevent spreading. Absorb in vermiculite, dry sand or earth and place into containers. Prevent entry into waterways, sewer, basements or confined areas. Following product recovery, flush area with water. Small Spills: Wipe up with absorbent material (e.g. cloth, fleece). Clean surface thoroughly to remove residual contamination. Environmental precautions 7. Handling and storage Precautions for safe handling Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities Never return spills to original containers for re-use. For waste disposal, see section 13 of the SDS. Avoid release to the environment. Contact local authorities in case of spillage to drain/aquatic environment. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not contaminate water. Avoid discharge into drains, water courses or onto the ground. Do not taste or swallow. Avoid contact with eyes. Provide adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Observe good industrial hygiene practices. When using, do not eat, drink or smoke. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Avoid release to the environment. Do not empty into drains. Store in original tightly closed container. Store away from incompatible materials (see Section 10 of the SDS). 8. Exposure controls/personal protection Occupational exposure limits Biological limit values Appropriate engineering controls No exposure limits noted for ingredient(s). No biological exposure limits noted for the ingredient(s). Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used. Ventilation rates should be matched to conditions. If applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level. Provide eyewash station. 2 / 7

3 Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment Face shield is recommended. Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles). Eye/face protection Skin protection Hand protection Other Respiratory protection Thermal hazards General hygiene considerations For prolonged or repeated skin contact use suitable protective gloves. Wear suitable protective clothing. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. Wear appropriate thermal protective clothing, when necessary. When using, do not eat, drink or smoke. Always observe good personal hygiene measures, such as washing after handling the material and before eating, drinking, and/or smoking. Routinely wash work clothing and protective equipment to remove contaminants. 9.
